What version of ORBit2 do you have; also, it may be interesting to get
a stack trace from gnome-session, find it's pid and do:
gdb gnome-session <pid>
backtrace
If that fails, login as failsafe x term thing; do a bonobo-slay, then
run: strace -f -ttt gnome-session >& /tmp/log.
Then post a _link_ to the log :-)
Hopefully we can find what's going on from that,
Regards,
Michael.
